Kevin Costnerstepped one foot intoBarbieland on Sunday night.
While presenting the Golden Globe award for best actress in a musical or comedy series during the 81st annual awards ceremony, he spoke withAmerica Ferreraabout the importance ofBarbie’s empowering moments — and even recited a bit of her now-iconic monologue.
Then, Costner, 68, surprised Ferrera — and the audience — with a word-for-word recreation of thatBarbiemoment. “You know, you have a scene that I really love. I think a lot of people really love that scene,” he said before going into the monologue.

“You know, ‘It’s literally impossible to be a woman.’ You know that, ‘You’re so beautiful. You’re so smart and kills me that you don’t think you’re good enough.’ That was pretty good,” the actor continued.
A stunned Ferrera replied, “Did you, Kevin Costner, memorize my monologue about womanhood fromBarbie?”
TheYellowstoneactor then simply deadpanned, “No.”

“But it’s an important message, and it always serves to remind me what’s possible in films. It just reminds me that when we take our time, when we manage to get it right, when film is working at its very best, it can be about moments you never ever forget,” Costner explained.
He continued, “A look, a touch, a kiss, a speech, and you just had one of those moments. And all the actors nominated tonight know so well the power of writing that they’ve been gifted with and that they have the chance to live forever.”

Ferrera ended the bit on one last chuckle. “Wow. So you’re not going to do the rest of my monologue right now on national television?” she asked.
Margot Robbie— Barbie herself — sported ahot pink gownand tulle wrap, an ode to the 1977 SuperStar Barbie doll’s 50th anniversary look. Ferrera opted for a silver, sequined gown — an extra feminine ode in the pearl detailing.
